    iPad with 4.3.4. Trying to upgrade software. Says it cannot find connect server

    With iOS versions below iOS 5, you must connect your iPad to a computer, via IPad USB cable, to sync up to iTunes installed on your computer.
    From there you can upgrade your iPad's iOS version.
    Leave your iPad connected up to your computer until the entire iPad OS upgrade process is completed.

  • I tunes does not recognize i touch after trying to upgrade software

    My itouch was working fine until an error occured while trying to upgrade the software. Now, when i plug it in it just shows me a picture telling me to connect to itunes, and i tunes does not recognize my ipod as being connected. i can not get the ipod to even go into the main menu

    Of course iTunes won't recognize an iTouch. That's not an apple iPod. Are you thinking of the iPod touch?
    Hah, I'm just kidding. For your issue here, I suggest a few things
    -Restart your computer
    -Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes by going to 'help' and then 'check for updates
    -Try another USB cord
    -Try another USB port and make sure your USB drivers are installed correctly and up to date (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538)
    -Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567)
    -Uninstall iTunes and reinstall (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925)
    Those steps should fix everything up for you but if they don't, be sure to try it on a different computer.
    Hope I helped

  • Nano 3G crash after trying to upgrade software

    My 3rd Gen Nano was functioning well and was identified by iTunes when I first plugged it to my relatively new iMac today. I was prompted by iTunes for software update for my 3rd Gen Nano, which I had obediently downloaded and agreed to the installation, thinking that it should be reliable since it is from Apple. However, iTunes prompted that it has lost connection with my nano immediately I click next to install the upgrade. Now my nano simply shows the Apple logo for a few seconds, goes off for a blink and Apple logo reappears. The cycle simply repeats and I can't even switch it off. Worst of all, the serial number is not recognized when I tried to email Apple for help. (I bought my nano from an authorized Apple distributor in Singapore). Can anyone help me with this problem please? Really frustrating for something working perfectly fine to be crashed by software update prompted by the manufacturer.

    Put the ipod into disk mode (Apple has detailed instructions). The ipod will show up in itunes, then download and update the software. Worked for me.

  • I keep getting an Error -23 on Ipad when I was trying to upgrade?  Now I can not get it to restore or even open, all it shows it the Itunes Icon.  What do I need to do to fix this, please?

    I keep getting an Error -23 on my Ipad?  Now when I try to restore it, I get the same error?  What do I need to do to fix this issue.

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Can't restore after trying to upgrade to iOS 4.0.1

    I tried installing the 4.0.1 update but it stopped downloading when the bar was about 70% full. Eventually I decided to disconnect the phone, knowing that I would have to restore. However, while trying to restore, it stopped again at about 70% full.
    I have updated to the newest iTunes
    I restarted my computer
    I changed the USB cord
    But nothing happens. All it says is "restoring iPhone software", yet it has completely stopped syncing

    Error 14 is not a USB problem, but a CRC problem of OS image.
    Image is corrupted.
    Delete it (.ipsw) and it will worked well

  • Ipod touch unable to restore after trying to update software

    I tried to update to the latest software for the ipod touch 2g today. It didn't work and i got an error message. Then i tried to restore the ipod with the latest version of itunes, and it still didn't work??
    What do i do?
    I am using a windows xp machine

    I had the same problem, this is how I fixed it...
    I had to go to a completely new computer (my work one) that didn't have iTunes on it, install iTunes 9.0, then do the restore...now it works...
    I would assume that if you removed every last vestige of iTunes from your computer it would act the same way. I think you would have to delete and completely remove the iTunes files from your user folder on Windows machines (AppData or LocalData, the hidden folder with the iTunes info in it...)

  • Why after trying to install it is saying an error occured while installation

    and it takes me straight to the finish button

    You should put your iPod into DeviceFailsafeUtility Mode (DFU). This [Video|http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=PbTI2quSqew] worked best for me, just note, that you have to get your timing very tight, also, the iPod should be connected to computer, and not via any Dock, directly to the USB Cable.
    Hope this helps,
    Darie.

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

  • PC wont recognize iphone4 after restore failure trying to upgrade to OS5

    After trying to upgrade to OS5, I received a failure notice on the restore and it said to update my Windows7 and restart. Now my PC will not recognize the iphone as a device in MyComputer or in iTunes.  The phone just displays the illustration screen asking to USB connect to iTunes.  I've tried a hard reset on the phone but it doesn't help.  It's not the computer's USB port, I've tested that...  Help?

    Did you see the very end of this about not having enough space left on your computer specific to therror code 3014?
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
    Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.

  • HT1212 My ipad was disabled after trying to unlock. I forgot my password, can you help me please

    My ipad was disabled after trying to unlock, I forgot my password please help!!

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - entering wrong codes results in progressively longer lockout times until device must be restored completely.
    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    Look at this discussion that I found in the More Like This box on the right. You can try the recommendation in it as well.

    what to do ?

    What OS is on the Install/Restore DVD that came wit your G5? If Tiger 10.4.x, you will need a black, retail Leopard install DVD. There is no free download of Leopard, only free updates once you have installed the base OS.
    First use your Mac's Install/Restore DVD to install an OS & apps. Then upgrade the OS.
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.
